...were as high as Professor Carver suggests in the CRIMSON of November 19, there would be no need for an organization such as the Crusaders. His point is well taken when he mentions the 32 breweries supporting the Association against the Prohibition Amendment in 1928, but he seems to overlook the fact that prohibition is supported by rum-runners, bootleggers, gangsters, whose "success" in life depends upon the Eighteenth Amendment, as well as by those who honestly believe that prohibition is the right thing...
Harvard's House teams are playing through a green grass stage at the present time, to such an extent, perhaps, that many people educated to the Stadium overlook the distinct pleasures of forming the gallery that fringes an unobtrusive football game, and of shouting to Joe and Bill. For the greatest number of people, the thousands of spectators of the present day game overshadow the sport atmosphere that really is an underlying aim of the whole thing. In the gymnasiums we see with amusement the pictures of some intersectional clash of the nineties, with a handful of people cheering...

...track meet, the spectators are sometimes likely to overlook the field events because it is easier to spot the athletes who are running races than the ones who are throwing the discus, javelin, hammer. Late in the afternoon, Michigan and Illinois were still ahead, nearly tied, with four events still undecided. Wisconsin, almost overlooked, had won the high jump and the two-mile run (establishing a new Conference record), placed second in the mile, the 440, and the shot-put. Kabat's discus throw, 150 ft. 10½ in., nowhere near the record but five feet better than Purma...
